"GO! Chip8" is a Chip8 emulator made in Golang as a training project for practice the language, bitwise operations and the use of sdl2.
This is an adaptation of the project from the Udemy's Course of Daniel McCarthy.
"CHIP-8 is an interpreted programming language, developed by Joseph Weisbecker made on his 1802 Microprocessor. It was initially used on the COSMAC VIP and Telmac 1800 8-bit microcomputers in the mid-1970s. CHIP-8 programs are run on a CHIP-8 virtual machine. It was made to allow video games to be more easily programmed for these computers. The simplicity of CHIP-8, and its long history and popularity, has ensured that CHIP-8 emulators and programs are still being made to this day." Wikipedia
